Workers’ compensation – Successive insurer rule

Where an administrative judge found that an employee’s claim for an Aug. 25, 2001 injury was barred under the successive insurer rule because the employee had resolved his claim for a May 17, 2006 injury against a different insurer by lump sum settlement under G.L.c. 152, §48, the judge erred, thus necessitating a recommittal of the case for further findings.
